EDTTORIAL NOTES.

It has been decided in New York that q
Fbucket shop" is a gambling establishment.
Many man will recognize the justice of this
decision.
The dead Anarchists don't find much ac-
ceptance as martyrs, and the Give" ones evil
IDENTIFY don't want to be dead. There has
been decided change since the hanging in
Chicago. Even the bowling Most is careful
The veteran of the war who, carrying q
small national flag, placed himself at the head
of the Anarchist funeral procession in Chica-
go Sunday, and kept his place there until the
railroad station was reached, wasn't very po-
lite, but he was thoroughly patriotic.
There are eighty-nine cotton mills, en-
ploying nearly $4,000 hands, in India. A
noteworthy thing about these mills is that
when trade is dull the owners are uniformly
animated by an intense desire to avoid Sun
day labor, but as soon as trade becomes brisk
they would keep running eight days if there
were that many in the week. These mill
owners are of course Englishmen.
The report of the German factory inspec-
tors for the last year deals especially with
questions arising from the employment of
women. 1t had been charged by the Social
lists and others that the proportion of female
labor was increasing and that its prevalence
was injurious to health and morals. The in
spectors are disposed to deny the truth of
both these charges. In the majority of dis
tricts the proportion of female labor has re-
manned practically unchanged for long
series of years; in the majority of employ
ments no distinctly injurious effects are re-
ported.
The indictment by the New York grand
jury of o committee of Knights of Labor for
conspiracy to deprive o. NJ. Hartt of his ems
ployment is encouraging. Hartt was the
foreman in shoe factory against whom the
workmen struck because he had detected
some of them in stealing and discharged them
for it. After they had succeeded, aided by
the cowardioe of their employer, in getting
him out of one place, they eonspired to pre-
vent him from getting another. He was dis
charged from shop in Philadelphia, from
another in Baltimore, and he has now been
refused employment in a factory at New
burg after having been engaged. Every
good citizen will hope that the 'scommittee''
will be severely punished.
Candidates for Office nowadays have to have
some opiniens. One in Rochester, New York,
m made note of some of the organizations that
sent circulars or committees to demand his
intentions. 1t included: The Anti-Monopo-
lists, the Drafted Men, the Grangers, the
Ministers union, the Swamp Draining associ-
alton, the Personal Liberty party, the Sunday
Law Enforcement party, the Civil Service
Reformers, the Personal Property Taxation
lists, the Canal Enlargement party, the Anti
Canal Enlargement party, tho United Labor
party, the Progressive Labor party, the So
cialistio Labor party, the Anti-Poverty party,
the Prohibition party, the Anti-Saloon party,
the Godin-the- Constitution party, the Anti
Seetarian Appropriation party.
An effort is to be made next winter to in
duce the Iowa legislature to establish in every
county "courts of conciliation," like those
which have long worked successfully in Den
mark and Norway. These courts will not
have coercivs authority, but will seek to set
tie in friendly way disputes between indi-
Viduals and to harmonic differences between
employers and employees. In Denmark one |
party can compel the others to appear before |
the court, but if the case cannot be settled |
amicably recourse must be had to the ordi- |
nary courts. No witnesses are usually sum-
moned. The parties themselves are examined |
by the judge, who explains the law and sug-
gests such legal and moral points as may be
pertinent. As a result of this system in Dem
